Lockin' It In
So for the last three months I've been talking a lot about leaving (essentially for as long as I've known about this trip) and you're probably beginning to wonder if and when I'm actually going to start doing all the things I've been talking about.  Valid question. 

Well thanks for sticking with me for all the big picture stuff! Today I"m happy to overwhelm you with way too much information about my first set of concrete plans.

Packin' It Up
Curious about what all is making "the list" for my backpack?  Me, too Whatever I decide I definitely need to keep it under 50 lbs – 30 in some countries – and must include my tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, eating utensils, clothing, and anything else I need to get me through life  this next year. 

Got any tips?  Love to hear about them!
